Monarchs School Day

On November 17, 2010 over 1,500 middle school students from 17 schools across the State attended the first Monarchs School Day. Upon arriving at the game, each student received a workbook. This tool incorporated all the educational aspects of the American Hockey League while harnessing the excitement of the great sport of hockey. Students used their math skills to calculate how many points certain players scored last season, their geography skills to identify a player’s hometown, their knowledge of New Hampshire history which has become the Monarchs players’ new home, their critical thinking skills to solve word puzzles, and much more.

On the concourse, students found exhibits focusing on Health & Wellness, Geography, Math, Reading, and Science. The hockey game itself included video board quizzes and trivia.

On this day the Verizon Wireless Arena was the largest classroom in New Hampshire. The New Hampshire Department of Education, New Hampshire Association of Middle Level Educators and New Hampshire PTA partnered with the Manchester Monarchs to hold this event.
